Impacts of Accreditation and Quality Improvement​ 

Accreditati​​on Readiness Tool

We offer an Accreditation Readiness Tool that can be used by health organizations and teams to support discussions of interest and self-determine engagement. Please contact us for more information. 

Quality Improvement a​​​nd​ Safety (QIS) Network

Hosted by the CAQI program, the Quality Improvement and Safety Network is a province wide network of First Nations peer organizations.

Network members have opportunities to connect with fellow colleagues, access new learning opportunities, share leading practices and build supporting resources.

Network members are health and wellness services, most which are fully accredited, and addiction recovery services, all of which are fully accredited.

The network also includes several self-governing nations. To date, nearly 100 communities are being served by participating organizations, councils, societies or tribal councils.​
